Miri Malek is an Iranian-Scottish DJ/producer. After many years of sonic rambling, they have found their way back to bass music with renewed passion and are focused on sharing this sound with the queer community in Berlin. Key influences for them are UK breaks producers/labels, as well as gravitating towards percussive-heavy tracks from producers around the world, joining the dots together in a playful, raw, and emotionally-charged tapestry of sounds.

Notes on the Mix ///

"I recorded this during an especially joyful moment of my life and I think this comes through in the mix. It's a balance of rebellious/skanky/emotional energy from beginning to end. There's a focus on playful rhythms and contorted textures, and I included a lot of tracks from producers that are ongoing inspirations for me, as well as hidden gems that deserve more listening time."

Miri Malek

Our second artist of November is none other than the Iranian-Scottish producer and DJ, Miri Malek. Currently based in Berlin, they are playing all flavours of bass music, with a focus on high-energy percussive grooves and peculiar textures. Miri is a resident DJ at the queer-trans-centred collective Exude, which launches next month. 

In this mix they opted for higher-than-usual BPMs for a playful hour of breakbeat, experimental bass, grime & dnb; "There's so much mind-blowing bass music coming out at the moment that I feel lucky to have access to, and increasingly hearing this sound in queer spaces brings me immense joy."

Evolve Or Decay

Berlin-based Miri Malek is a DJ & producer focused on sharing their passion for bass music, especially with those typically less exposed to the genre, such as the queer community. They have a relentless fixation on all things bass and an obsession for tracks with weird textures and playful rhythmic elements.

Syncopated rhythms, extended blends and wobbly basslines for any time of the day. In this hour we're diving headfirst into my favourite sub-140bpm bass tracks.

Miri Malek - 23/11/2023

Miri Malek is an Iranian-Scottish producer/DJ & live artist. They are a member of Exude, a party and event collective, as well as founder of Dwam, a multidisclipinary experimental art platform - both of which are Berlin-based. 

This end-of-year mix is a distinctive blend of their musical gravitations at the moment - breakbeat, experimental bass, grime & dubstep, filled with extended blends, organic textures & hypnotic melodies, cruising at the 140 - 150 bpm range.

Bubble Tape 038 w/ Miri Malek

On this February full moon in earthy Virgo, Miri Malek is on the decks, delving into dark underworld territory, with low-end explorations that skip and sizzle with stinging impact. This mix brings us rolling sub-bass and deep, engulfing energy, something to listen to on a crushing sound system, allowing your body to dissolve into the spectral density of dubby, chuggy, bassy bliss.

"A doppelgänger wakes up in a parallel universe and wanders through the realms searching for their counterpart.

… Dubstep, and all its creepy, future-forward aesthetics, was the first electronic genre I fell in love with back in 2006. Somehow, with everything that is happening in the world & our collective search for another reality, the genre resonates with me more than ever."
